Best of 2009: Jean Godden recalls madcap days at 'The P-I'

Posted Mon, Jan 19, 12:25 p.m.

Yeah, Ted ... ask a certain star investigative reporter at the P-I whether he's best known for his work at the Times (where he won two Pulitzers) or at the P-I.

A 1999 letter of agreement could prove awkward for Seattle Times Co.

Richards continues his crusade against the Times. Whatever happens -- including Hearst's obvious abandonment of the P-I -- Crosscut will find a way to turn it into a negative for the Times. Nearly every other informed observer sees this otherwise.

Seattle Times Co. still trying to close sale of Maine papers

Red ink by the globe-ful: And what about the P-I, Bill? Oglesby told the staff recently that the paper is losing $10 million a year. Oh, yeah, I forgot: You're the Committee for a One-Hearst-Newspaper Town.

Lousy, biased job: I couldn't disagree more with the commenter above. From what I hear from Times folks -- including some in position to know -- Richards' Crosscut stories are rife with errors. And he so clearly has an axe to grind. If not, where are the stories about Hearst ...
